There is a lot to be said for purchasing the 2002 dodge stratus r t, truck or car from the resale lot of a new car dealer. Many of the vehicles are trade-ins for new vehicles - often they have been serviced by that dealership and many time the dealer provides some kind of a warranty on the vehicle.
